Abstract

The present invention relates to a self-dispensing dental floss applicator with a base element (27). The self-dispensing dental floss applicator has a generally u-shaped housing (1). The housing (1) having a space for a spool of floss at its one end and two hollow prongs at its other end, the floss being spanned between the free ends of the two prongs and passed from the spool through a locking mechanism, a guiding section, the hollow prongs back through the guiding section (10) and the locking section. The housing (1) further contains a second spool and the first spool contains the fresh floss and the second spool (18) is for accumulating the used floss. The second spool (18) contains a gear wheel to drivingly connecting the gear wheel with a drive unit. The housing (1) contains an opening in the rear end of the housing (1) allowing a driving gear wheel (33) to be introduced through the opening to mesh the gear wheel within the housing The driving gear wheel (33) is part of the base element (27). The applicator is placed on the electrical base (27) and pressing it down will cause the spool of used floss (18) to rotate, hence pulling new fresh floss between the prongs in a very fast and easy manner. Pushing back the lever to its locked position ensures the floss is tightly locked with the right tension.
